26TX0555

Mimix Broadband's 18.0-36.0 GHz GaAs MMIC transmitter has a +25.0 dBm output third order intercept across the band. 26TX0555 is a balanced resistive pHEMT mixer followed by a distributed amplifier and includes an integrated LO doubler and LO buffer amplifier. The use of integrated LO doubler and LO buffer amplifier makes the provision of the LO easier than for fundamental mixers at these frequencies. IF and IF mixer inputs are provided through an external 180 degreehybrid. This 26TX0555 MMIC uses Mimix Broadband's 0.15 m GaAs PHEMT device model technology, and is based upon electron beam lithography to ensure high repeatability and uniformity. 26TX0555 has surface passivation to protect and provide a rugged part with backside via holes and gold metallization to allow either a conductive epoxy or eutectic solder die attach process. This device is well suited for Millimeter-wave Point-to-Point Radio, LMDS, SATCOM and VSAT applications.
